Home Before Dark
Neil Diamond

Diamond again brings legendary producer Rick Rubin into the mix for a collection of love songs that pair a young man’s yearning with Diamond’s vintage vocals.
 

Hard Candy
Madonna

"The title is a juxtaposition of tough and sweetness... kind of like I'm gonna kick your ass but it's going to make you feel good."
Madonna

Nine Lives
Steve Winwood

"Earthy" might be just the right word to describe an album that was recorded in Winwood's private studio in the British countryside. Borrowing from blues, soul, and Latin traditions, it's a lovely, moving effort from one of our most talented singer-songwriters.
 

Third
Portishead

It's been worth the wait. Portishead returns after more than a decade with an album of jarringly creepy, dark, and sad anthems—all the things that made us love them in the first place.
